John Wayne Westerns

[forindooruseonly]

That's my favorite movie by the Duke, hands down. I also think it is, far and away, his best acting.

"What do you want me to do, draw you a picture? Spell it out? Don't ever ask me! Long as you live, don't ever ask me more."

Me too, I just wish the ending wasn't a sellout. I like him better before the change of heart. Even then, that ending scene in the doorway is so iconic that you have to like it.

Also always liked The Quiet Man.

What is/are your favorite John Wayne westerns? I have not seen all of them but I stop on two and watch them almost all the time. These two are in no particular order.

El Dorado
Rio Bravo

Howard Hawks And John Wayne Made Rio Bravo Out Of Hatred For High Noon - /Film

Howard Hawks and John Wayne took issue with the political messaging of High Noon, and set about to make their own Western to spite it.

That doorway shot was a tribute to Harry Carey senior. Junior played the character whose fiancé was butchered by the Indians. Junior was a stock character in many JW movies.

I'll watch anything - and everything(!) - that John Wayne ever filmed.

But I have to admit that "The Quiet Man" is my favorite. [Which was, coincidentally, filmed in the year I was born. And that makes me ancient. ]

It really doesn't matter, just so it is John Wayne.

I know which one you are thinking of, but I can't recall the movie name at the moment. He was in a rancher's line shack and got shot at.

"Tall in the Saddle" co-staring Ella Raines. (1944)

I find it hard to believe that was 79 years ago ...

Yeppers, that is it. Gabby Hayes starred also and was with JW when he was shot at while in the line shack.

79 years ago puts its release 2 years before I was born.
